I think one of the most incredible statistics I have ever seen is that in 1919, he hit 29 of his teams' 33 home runs for the year: That's right, the rest of the team hit 4.

 Anime Digital - Reviews: Dragon Half   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The only difference is that Mink is half dragon or a "Dragon Half", so she has the body of a cute (as in fanservice) human, but also has the wings, tail and horns of a Dragon.
Mink's father Ruth (yes, Ruth) was a famous swordsman who was sent off to slay a local dragon (as is the case in most swords and sorcery type worlds), but instead of killing her, he fell in love with the Dragon and got married!
Dragon Half is quite unlike most anime you'll stumble across, and as a result it became a fan favourite because of it's own style of humour: a blend of slapstick with a touch of a RPG thrown in.

Pure white and incredibly agile, Ruth was a dragon of manytalents, though almost everyone on Pern thought he was a runt that wouldnever amount to anything.

But Jaxom knew better, knew he could teach his dragon to fly and todestroy the deadly silver Threads that fell from the sky.

The story of Jaxom growing to manhood, with his doubts and worries, with Ruth, Menolly, Robinton and of course Sharra, with a continent to discover, Thread to overcome and a whole new world to open up was beyond all my expectations.
This book was great with Jaxom developing with a crush and the critisism that Jaxom and Ruth (Jaxom's white dragon) get because never has there been a dragonrider the leader of a hold and Ruth is a runt and white.
